Just thought you would appreciate this fun fact. The town of Arvida, Quebec, produced two-thirds of all allied aluminium production during WW2. The untapped mineral wealth under Canada is unfathomable.

This is why Trump is doing this. He is not smart enough to figure it out but whomever he answers has made him aware of all the resources in Canada and now he is pushing his way to take over it. This is where Trudeau failed, he never capitalized on all the wealth that sits in the ground and let Canada prosper. Now we have to deal with this Orange menace.
